In March, PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh had also said that a probe would be launched into the “delay” in installation of CCTV cameras in eight Assembly constituencies where BJP MLAs had won the elections when AAP came to power in 2020.
The Public Works Department (PWD) in Delhi, as part of an internal survey, has found that of the around 2.8 lakh CCTV cameras installed across the Capital, 9,767 either do not work, are damaged or have been stolen.
Officials said the department has now been instructed to address the issue in a time-bound manner.
A senior official said the internal survey was conducted recently following directions from higher authorities.
